Ask your friends who might have a good doctor for you to build a new relationship with. I had to do the same thing. I ahd a dr for 19 years. i figured he cared about me ect. whenever i needed pain help during my last year, he was a jerk. i didnt have a diagnosis and he was acting like i was a drug addict. finally i called around and found a new primary care. when i presented the idea to him that i might have RSD he said i think your right! and he changed all my meds and i have been mostly pain free when im sitting in bed, before i was still in too much pain. now when i move i still have pain but i think i always will because i have internal rsd and my stomach is swollen, that hurts when i move, so does my herniated disc. My primary is managing my pain right now because i didnt like the treatment from the pain management clinics i had gone to.
Please go to the ER, its hurting me thinking of you suffering dear, i truly mean it, and you have to go to work on top of being in pain, its not worth it. Friday is TOO far away!
Blessings

Hi Catra, What worries me most is abruptly stopping meds like Lyrica-seriously there are many meds we can't just stop-dangerous- Could have a seizure. I would go to ER or go to a familiar Dr. who would give me the meds for 5 days. Please take care of yourself. Do you take your blood pressure? Can get a kit for $30 at Costco or Wallmart. Most of us have high blood pressure issues because RSD is an autonomic condition. Please let us know you are getting help NOW> your friend, loretta
